Manager of the month?
More like fraud of the year if you get what I'm saying.

I think its a mistake from him but its not hard to see.
Injuries for one meant non of the CBs could do the job, the fullbacks who would also were out. But the main reason is clearly that the attacking players are not working so hes committing an extra midfielder to the attack.
We also don’t build up with a loan 6 anyway we build up with a back 3 with the 6 dropping in with the 2 CBs and the fullbacks pushing on.
This should be the poster in the dressing room until the next game day.
Why would he walk into this circus?
While that is true, it also highlights the fact that ETH is not the right man to get them to play more than the sum of their parts.
Which means he isn't a great coach.
Two of our three forwards today cost over 150 million and were brought to the club by him. They both look like absolutely horrendous buys. I’d argue the played he inherited looked the better ones today.
There is simply no defence left for Ten Haag at this stage and it’s fecking embarrassing that people are still clutching at straws and making excuses. He’s not getting a tune out of anyone, not the players he inherited not the players he lobbied to sign. Just fecking accept it and move on.
Honestly what is wrong with United fans. The Ten Hag era has failed just move on like every other club in the world do when a manager reaches his end point. Get over it, get over yourselves, it happens. Ten Hag will go elsewhere and get another job.
A lot of us did say he'd do exactly that.
pretty much every member of the CAF has been saying the same for weeks. and yet ETH just has to go to his stupid 1CM formation.
He played McTominay and Bruno together. Again.
You know it’s desperate if people are asking for Ole back instead
They were out wide, did Hojlund get into positions to receive passes from them?
Was hilariously predictable.
FFS stop playing McTominay in midfield, put Bruno at 10 and tell the players to play faster. We were playing like we were in the lead. Why are we zombie passing it? 4 managers we've had now and we're still zombie passing. Is this some club culture they've implemented quietly in 2010?
The problem with us now is that all half-sensible footballers in their prime will be very hesitant to join us, unless we offer them wages they can't refuse.
This is a spiral leading into an abyss that may last another decade of mediocrity unless we get a proper manager soon.

I think it always leaves us spread too thin across the pitch though when we do this. Just too much ground to cover for players who get too isolated.
He needs to find a better balance. Hopefully with players returning he can.
Arteta finished 8th in his first two seasons and 5th in his third.
Klopp finished 8th in his first season.
Bad coaches, couldn't get a tune out of shite players.
Thought it was just a mainoo thing
To be honest the way we played up to the goal, it's hard to crticisie the starting XI. I'm just wondering how our attack can be so so so bad, and he takes a lot of heat for that.
I'm now wondering does the club not sack the manager at the expense of clearly nuking a season so that the job is a little more attractive to potential successors.
We have the most inefdective collection of wide forwards in the league
How hard can it be to just put Amrabat next to Mainoo and have a midfield that's going to attempt to play football?
It's happened once, at Anfield, when he was forced to by Bruno's suspension. I don't understand how he hasn't even otherwise tried it.
Is he a poor coach with no idea?
Or is this bunch of players not good enough or not playing for him?
Either way it's disgraceful

He hides and it’s about time people called it out. One run down the channel is all I ask
Remember when Ole played Fred and Mctominey in this system and most the cafv was crying..
At least they didn't feck up their transfer windows while transitioning the team.
Cop out argument. ETH finished 3rd with a league cup and has now regressed to 8th. Does he deserve more time?
He wasn’t hired off of what his previous teams did. He was hired off of his success and football at Ajax.
And I have no fecking clue how you gather that he’s not the clear driving force of our recruitment choices. Antony, Malacia, Martinez, Mount, Onana, Eriksen, and the countless targets we were interested in as well with links to him.
But hey none of it’s his fault right? He’s just getting screwed by those rotten Glazers!
You just cannot turn up for games literally EVERY week and play in first gear and expect the opposition to just do the same.
We just go through the motions in every game.
Just absolutely unacceptable again.
The players have no desire at all, firstly that comes from the players but if the manager just keeps on picking them regardless then the manager has to start taking the blame.

Agree. There are no signs of life.
The number of players injured is tough, especially at center back, but Willy and Evans were hardly tested anyway.
The midfield is rotten and forwards are inept.
It is the same old story. We can just about beat relegation fodder like Luton, Sheff United and Burnley. but play a team in the top half and we lose.
Under Ten Hag we have found our level - mid table.
Because Scott isn’t actually a midfielder
We played some good football against Palace in the LC. Tactic abandoned in the next PL game.
Had a solid performance at the hardest away venue in the league, changed in the next game.
And we wonder why there's no consistency. fecking braindead manager.
All 3
Neither of them looked so clueless. Ever.
But could they even find him?
Arsenal and Liverpool fans will piss themselves laughing at this on the way to their potential title deciding clash today.
He will be gone as part of the restructure when Sir Jim officially completes the part-takeover, I have no doubts about it.
I agree with this. We start the game at such a slow pace. We try and play out through Onana at a snails pace.
When you do that, it feels like it is hard to step up the pace. I knew that if West Ham scored, we wouldn't be able to respond.
Ten Hag's tactical set up and substitutions have gone to pot. Whatever philosophy he had, the only traces of it seem to be our sterile possession: Endlessly holding the ball while slowly getting forward, as opponents set up to defend and counter or press us into errors.
He's done. I think he knows it too. It's all very Van Gaal circa winter 2015. He may get until next summer. However, there's very little sense that this is as enduring project.
Basically, this season is a write off now.
We're all just spinning wheels until it ends and INEOS picks it's footballing people. It might suit everyone if he jump ship to Dortmund as rumoured.
